Challenging endurance training on a snow shoe hike

Undergo the challenging experience of snow shoe hiking on the Arlberg. Those for whom romantic strolls offer too little action will be in good spirits during a snow shoe hike in Oberlech. A challenging sports discipline for anyone who does not wish to ski, and who wants to undertake a stamina-promoting sport during the holiday.

Heli-skiing

Lech-Zürs is the only ski resort in Austria to offer heli-skiing. Travel by helicopter to one of three summits and set off into the pure powder snow or firn pleasure. We will be delighted to organise this unforgettable adventure for you. The ski and mountain guides based here will lead you safely from Schneetäli (2,450 m) and neighbouring Mehlsack (2,652 m) via wonderful powder snow back into the valley once again.

Tobogganing fun

Many paths lead into the valley – one of the most exciting and fun is the toboggan and bobsled run from Oberlech to Lech. You can hire the red racers directly from us in-house and whizz down the 1.2 kilometre long stretch. We will be happy to issue you a ski pass, enabling you to ride back with the Lech-Oberlech cable car. The run is open from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.

Cross-country skiing

Inhale – exhale. Let nature weave its spell on your spirit. With optimally prepared cross-country ski trails and skating tracks, cross-country skiing in Lech Zürs am Arlberg offers the cross-country skier all that the heart desires. Guaranteed snow and 27 kilometres of diverse cross-country trails thrill casual skiers and professional athletes alike. The cross-country ski trails are situated in the midst of the alpine mountain area and can be used for free throughout the entire season. From Oberlech, the cable car or local bus are the fastest ways to reach all of the cross-country ski trails.
